Deity Hero: Me! Gaining Disciples Makes Me Stronger! Chapter 56
Advertisement
At the thought of this, their breathing quickened. Although their age and strength had already passed the most suitable period for the imperial class inheritance, they still had disciples. If they obtained the imperial class inheritance and passed on to their disciples, then another monstrous genius would appear in the southern region. At the very least, none would not be lower than Lin Jian's standard!
The Myraid Beast sect and the Tianzhen sect originally wanted the Xuan Sword sect to give them an explanation. However, when they saw that everyone's attention was no longer on them, they forced themselves to endure it. These disciples who had died were all geniuses that the sects had painstakingly nurtured, and if one died, there would be one less. The average strength of the sect would be slightly weaker. In such a situation, how could they treat it as if nothing had happened? Li Changqing and Wang Ye looked at each other and saw a trace of coldness in each other's eyes.
As for the experts of the other sects, they did not hide the greed in their eyes at all. They each took out their own spirit weapons and quickly rushed into the trial tower.
The one leading was Lin Jian. As Lin Jian was too familiar with the trial tower, he almost rushed into the first level with a shot.
Qing Xuzi instructed the elder behind him, "Remember, protect Xuan Yi after you enter. The treasure must be with him. We can't let the other sects get first."
"Yes, Master."
The trial tower was located in the saint mystic realm, but it was not affected by the rules of the saint mystic realm.
Originally, these masters and experts were not allowed to enter. The opening of the saint mystic realm was only for the disciples to undergo trials. Other than the elder leading the team, cultivators above the golden elixir phase were not allowed to participate. This was the rule set by many sects in the southern region, even Lin Jian waited for the disciples from the sects to come out before entering the tower.
But now, everyone had violated the rules that they had set themselves, the appeal of the imperial class inheritance was too great. The treasures on the third floor were like naked women, and they were the perverts who had not touched a woman for decades.

The disciples of the Xuan Sword sect were stunned on the spot.
"What's wrong with this group of terrifying big shots?"
Bai Weiwei frowned, "Master is in danger."
With that, the group of people rushed back again.
This time, the group of disciples did not retreat. Xuan Yi had completely brought them into submission in the trial tower.
When they heard that Elder Xuan was in danger, they rushed back without hesitation.
However, their speed was obviously not as fast as the experts of the major sects. When they arrived at the entrance of the trial tower, the group of people had already disappeared.
...
On the third floor, when the group of Xuan Sword sect disciples arrived, they were suffocated by the pressure inside.
"Look, Elder Xuan is inside."
In the center of the hall, Xuan Yi was sitting in front of a stone table, closing his eyes, resting.
He knew that this opponent would be a very powerful existence.
This game was equivalent to a killing.
These disciples didn't attract Xuan Yi's attention when they came here.
"Elder Xuan is going to play the chess?"
"It seems so."
"But, no one is here. Who is he playing with?"
One of the disciples wanted to walk in, but found that he was blocked by a layer of restriction. Seeing this, he hurriedly told the other disciples.
In the end, they found that they were all blocked outside.
They could only watch Xuan Yi from afar in the center of the magma.
"Fortunately, we are only outside. If there is no restriction, if we walk in directly, I'm afraid we will be crushed by this terrifying pressure."
As they thought of this, they were extremely amazed at Xuan Yi's strength.
Was this really just a law enforcer?
Looking at his indifferent appearance, even some sect masters did not have such an aura.
"Elder Xuan, his strength is unfathomable!"
"Who exactly is he playing chess with?"
They were extremely depressed and could only wait quietly outside. If they guessed correctly, only Xuan Yi could win this game, then the treasures inside would be obtained by Xuan Yi.

They no longer hoped that they could obtain the treasures. After all, the first two levels had already given them a bountiful harvest.
At this moment, they were all looking at Xuan Yi with extreme seriousness. They rarely saw Xuan Yi make a move. However, almost every time he made a move, he could let them learn something, without doubt, this time too. Every gaze was fixed on Xuan Yi, afraid of missing out every move he made.
Just when they were thinking about who was Xuan Yi's chess opponent, the people from the Divine Medicine Valley and the weapon sect arrived.
However, their appearance was somewhat miserable. Moreover, with their use of time, they could only get into the top fifty of the stone tablet ranking.
For this, they had also paid a great price. When they saw the people from the Xuan Sword sect, they all lowered their heads.
It was originally an insignificant sect, but it had directly crushed them. How could they be proud of this.
However, what they didn't know was that the reason why the disciples of theXuan Sword sect could crush them was because of Xuan Yi, who was sitting in the middle of the third floor.
"This person is an elder of the Xuan Sword sect, right?"
"Judging from his clothes, he should be."
"What is he doing? Who is he playing chess with?"
"I don't know. It looks like he is about to play the chess, but there is no one on the other side. Could it be that he is playing chess with air?"
The disciples of the two sects discussed animatedly. When they realized that they could not enter, they wanted to break through forcefully. In the end, one of the disciples was hit by the restriction and was seriously injured. This time, they became obedient and stood outside the restriction like the disciples of the Xuan Sword sect.
At the entrance of the second floor, a group of old monsters stopped. Everything was smooth-sailing until now, the second floor was different. Here, their cultivation were all suppressed to the level of mortals.
If they walked in, it would probably be as difficult as for those disciples. Of course, with their strength, they would definitely be much faster than the disciples.
However, with such speed, Xuan Yi would have already taken away the treasures on the third floor. Moreover, if their speed was not as fast as the disciples, the ranking on the stone tablet would show, how would they teach their disciples in the future?
Just as they were hesitating, they suddenly remembered what the disciples of the Xuan Sword sect had said earlier.
If they dispersed all their cultivation, it would be as if they were walking on flat ground.
They were very tempted, but they did not dare to gamble.
At this moment, Lin Jian stood out and said with an evil smile, "Indecisive, how can you walk on the path of immortal cultivation for a long time?"
With that, his aura plummeted. In less than three breaths' time, all the cultivation in his body had dissipated, and he had truly become a mortal.
He walked in step by step, and indeed, there was nothing unusual.
This time, the cultivators from the major sects began to follow suit.
As expected, after becoming mortals, they really felt like they were walking on flat ground. They only felt a little pressure on their shoulders.
Soon, the group of people rushed to the entrance of the third floor.
The third floor had the view of the second floor. A disciple on the third floor inadvertently saw the group of people rushing over, so he repeatedly let the others watch.
"Indeed, the elders of our weapon sect, look at their speed!"
"Run! They are running! The elders of our Divine Medicine Valley are not inferior to your weapon sect."
